Why is this a surprise. When moderates rejected Mccain for the extreme Obama, they had to know they were going to make the GOP even more desperate to beat him in 2012, making the GOP far less rigid ideologically.

What a bunch of crap that poll is. It is an "all adult" poll and Giuliani leads 16% to the next one's 15%. It is a name recognition poll of people who most likely will never vote in a Republican primary.

After seeing the first question, I didn't even bother to look for the demographics.

hell--I like Rudy--but as I said on earlier thread, tell me who is out in front a year from now--this is all pundit bullshit--we will know who will be the challenger to jug ears, but not this early

Hint for those who care: watch who the MSM gangs up on--thats your clue to who think will be the favorite. When the fucking fellators of the MSM start "fact checking" you will know whom the dems fear most.

If Rudy does run, I certainly hope he tells me what he was doing on 9/11, because I'm a little fuzzy on that subject."

It's so strange to hear a leftist say this in the gutsycall.com era.

Hell, Rudy actually was amazing on 9/11. That says a lot about how he'd handle problems as President. Obama's Gutsycall.com moment doesn't tell us anything except that he waits 16 hours to make a no brainer decision with minimal input.

But that's the meme. If Rudy is mentioned, some bonehead will dust that off and run with it, tiredly.

It never made any sense, though. His performance on the job is a relevant thing to discuss. If you want to look at pathetic attempts to steal glory, just look at Obama spiking the football. Or is this just partisan hackery?

Triangle--I interpreted Mad Man's comment as being critical of then Mayor Guiliani's reaction to 9-11--this is rather in the same ball park as the excrebale Shilo's comment about "deer in the headlights."

When you have a catastrophy on the scale of 9-11, good leadership relies first and foremost of getting information about the event before you take action--In both cases Mayor G who was responsible for the immediate local response appears to have done his job--As did President Bush

NO ONE--all the crap about the august briefing notwithstanding, could come to grips to what happened without some information and analysis-

That takes time--you dont respond without information and to the respective leaders credit, they took the time to assess what happened.

I find these criticism to be vapid and uninformed. I mean really--trivial, jejune and woefully ignorant of the real world.
